Examination of the draft Brighton Marina
Neighbourhood Plan
Independent examination of the draft Brighton Marina Neighbourhood Plan was completed during August 2024, and the examiner’s report can be found here.
The next stage in the progress of the plan is for the full Brighton & Hove City Council to agree to the plan proceeding to referendum. This is expected to happen at the Council meeting on 24 October.
If the proposal for referendum is accepted, then the Council have indicated that the likely referendum date would be late February 2025.

What is a Neighbourhood Forum?
Neighbourhood planning legislation, introduced
by the Government under the Localism Act,
gives communities direct power to develop a
shared vision for their neighbourhood, to shape
its development and growth, and to establish
general planning policies for the development
and use of land in the neighbourhood area.
These are described legally as ‘Neighbourhood
Development Plans’.

Brighton Marina Neighbourhood Area
Brighton & Hove City Council formally
designated the Brighton Marina Neighbourhood
Forum and the Brighton Marina Business / Neighbourhood Area (shown in the plan) for a 5
year period on 18 June 2015.
It was re-designated for a further 5 year period
on 3 November 2020.

Neighbourhood planning requires a vast array
of skills. Everyone working together will allow
our community to have our say on how our
area develops over time.
